Dumplings can now distinguish prey well. The prey that its father Liu Mo'ang would never touch, so the dumplings will never be touched.

However, although Jiaozi did not catch the rats, rabbits and snow pigs, the Pleasant Goats and Goats in the ranch were affected. Jiaozi attacked a sheep almost every day... Oh no, the one with the claws, after a few days, half of the twenty sheep in the ranch were gone.

These sheep naturally all got into the stomach of the third little girl.

Lao Liu naturally had no objection to this kind of thing. The golden eagle is the king of the sky, so it must have the domineering spirit of the king of the sky.

What's the point of hunting a sheep every day? If the yaks in the pasture were not too big and that dumplings could prey on them, Lao Liu would have wanted to let dumplings hunt yaks...

Chu Qian also witnessed the heroic posture of dumpling hunting with her own eyes. A hidden sheep was directly scratched by the sharp claws of the dumplings, and she didn't even have a chance to escape.

Of course, Lao Liu would not let his wife see the bloody scene of the three little girls eating the sheep, and hugged her wife and went back to the inn.

"Why don't you let me see?" Chu Qian still didn't want to.

"Why do you look at that kind of scene? If you watch too much, you won't get pregnant!"

"You..." Chu Qian was choked and couldn't speak, so she could only use her fingers to vent her anger on Lao Liu.

When they walked to the entrance of the inn, the couple saw an orange-painted construction car on National Highway 109 walking slowly on the roadside. There were also road guard workers holding shovels and underneath the car.

Every ten meters away, the car will stop, and the road guard workers in the truck and under the truck will use shovels to remove some soil from the truck and pile it up on one side of the road.

"What are they doing?" Chu Qian asked curiously.

Old Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but it should be related to road protection, right?"

"It's related to road protection? Are you planning to use this loess to cushion the potholes on the road?"

Old Liu spread his hands and said, "If I know, I'll tell you? But it doesn't matter if I don't know. There is a mouth under my nose, just go over and ask."

The two of them walked towards the roadside holding hands. When they got closer, they found that the two road guardians were sweating on their foreheads. It seemed that they had been doing this work for a long time.

The two road guardians were evidently hiding the corpse.

In fact, most of the road guard workers on the plateau and the road guard workers on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway are local Tibetan compatriots. Just like the railway guards that Lao Liu met when he went to Cuona Lake to visit, the vast majority of the road guard workers in it were local Tibetan compatriots.

You can see a small house built with composite color steel plates and insulation materials on both sides of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway every distance. There are people on duty inside for 24 hours, and the workers on duty are basically local Tibetans.

"Zashi Dele!" Old Liu and Chu Qian walked up to each other and said hello. The two Tibetans stopped the work in their hands and said hello with a smile. The driver stopped the car and poked his head out to say hello to Lao Liu. It can be seen that these three people seemed to know Lao Liu.

"Brothers, what are you doing? Why are you piled up the loess on the side of the road without any trouble?"

"You said this?" A man who looked almost forty years old pointed to the loess in the car's bucket. "This is anti-slip soil prepared to prevent the road from freezing."

"Anti-slip earth?" Lao Liu and Chu Qian were both confused.

It was probably because they had been working for a long time and wanted to take a break, so the driver got out of the car and the worker on the truck jumped down.

Old Liu quickly took out a bag of Huazi and took out three and handed them on it. The driver and the oldest man took the cigarette, while the other waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke.

After lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, the oldest man explained: "We are at a high altitude, and it will often snow in November, and dark ice will often appear on the road. Do you know? Dark ice on the road is the most pitiful driver? If you don't pay attention, you will easily get into trouble."

Old Liu and Chu Qian nodded. When they sent Chu Qian home to climb over the mountain pass before, they often had to add anti-skid chains to their car tires? It is because the roads at these high-altitude mountain passes often have dark ice and even snow, and it is easy to get into a car accident if they are not careful.

"It would be okay if the temperature is high? The dark ice on the road surface will melt as soon as the sun comes out. But now the temperature is getting lower and lower. The dark ice on the road surface the night before sometimes has to wait until noon to melt. This is very dangerous? So I have to find a way to make the roadside non-slip."

The driver finished speaking and said, "Snow melting agent, salt water, etc. are too expensive, and it is easy to cause pollution. So a long time ago, our predecessors came up with this method. Once the road surface is frozen, then directly sprinkle the loess prepared on both sides of the road onto the road surface? It can be very anti-slip. So after winter every year, we have to pile small piles of soil on the roadside to facilitate the spread of soil on the road."

After the driver explained this, the two of them suddenly realized.

It turns out that these small piles of soil piled on both sides of the road were actually used for this, no wonder they are called anti-slip soil.

Not to mention, this anti-slip method is definitely very effective.

Everyone knows that when there is snow or dark ice on the road, the road is very slippery. For example, in the winter of the past few years, the news reported that the Beijing-Tibet Expressway is prone to traffic jams after leaving Beijing. It is not because there are too many vehicles? But because the road slope is large and once the road is frozen, those big cars can't get on.

You just stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank, and the wheels were spinning in place? The car didn't move at all!

The same is true for the road on the plateau. Like the road in front of the inn? It looks flat and has almost no slope? But in fact, the slope of this section of the road is still quite large. From the inn to Zhongning Township, the altitude drops from nearly 4,600 to nearly 4,400, and within 25 kilometers, the altitude drops by more than 200 meters, and the slope is basically nearly 1000th of a thousandth.

The slope of this kind of highway is actually quite steep, but because the road is too long, it is difficult to see that this section of road has a slope based on visual inspection.

But this does not mean that there is no slope in this section of the road. So once it snows or freezes, it is easy to have problems with this section of the road.

But if loess is sprinkled on the road, the chance of a car accident can be greatly reduced immediately.

These road guards are really hard. Not to mention anything else, they just stand here and look in one direction until the invisible end of the road. There are small piles of soil twenty or thirty centimeters high on both sides.

These small piles of soil were piled up by these road guardians in this way.

It is these inconspicuous small mounds that ensure the smooth flow of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in winter.

Behind these small mounds are the hard work of countless unknown road protectors.

"Masters, if you are hungry and thirsty, come to our Tianlu Inn. There is hot water and food here. You can come for free." Chu Qian's eyes flashed with emotion, and she said sincerely to the three road guardians.

"Thank you, we have food and hot water in the car." Zang Pi, who was driving, smiled politely.

Lao Liu also said, "Don't be polite. There are many hidden people working in my inn. The Zhaxi Dawa brothers of Obacuo and several girls from Zhongning Township are all working as waiters in the inn. And now our inn has also established a company with Obacuo to jointly develop local tourism resources. So don't be polite. If you are tired, hungry and thirsty, come to the inn. We welcome you very much."

Although Lao Liu and Chu Qian were very sincere, the three road guards did not go to the inn. They just chatted with Lao Liu and his wife for a while before continuing to pile up dirt on the side of the road.

Seeing the orange-yellow engineering car going further and further away, Lao Liu and Chu Qian sighed and turned back and walked back to the inn.

After breakfast, a group of people gathered at the bar to chat. Not long after chatting, they heard the sound of vehicles outside.

Gesanlazhen smiled and said, "Misses, guests are coming, we are going to pick them up..."

Her voice naturally made a group of ladies laugh and scold, but before Gesanglazhen could open the door, the door was pushed open with a "bang".

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, damn, what rhythm is this? Is it so aggressive to have a meal?

The next moment, about a dozen people walked in from outside the door, each of them looked unkind, as if the inn had owed them tens of thousands of dollars.

This was obviously not here to eat or treat altitude sickness. Old Liu frowned and walked over and asked, "You guys are..."

Before Lao Liu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man who looked in his forties, "Where is your boss? Call your boss out!"

"I am the boss. What's the matter with you?" Old Liu said with a cold face, and at the same time he winked at the big dog standing beside him. The big dog immediately walked into the bar tactfully, fiddled with it in the bar and then walked out.

"Are you that boss Xiao Liu?" the middle-aged man in his forties asked with a sneer on his face. His accent was full of strong Bashu flavor. Obviously, he was a Bashu native.

"I heard you are very popular recently. Those tourists and drivers all come to your inn to eat and stay. Have you broken the rules and used low prices to attract tourists and drivers?"

"Bad rules?" Old Liu was happy when he heard this, but he was too lazy to explain to the people in front of him. These people were here to find fault, and they were not as easy as you explain to these people.

"You are all the hotel owners on this road, aren't you?" Old Liu glanced at the group of people coldly.

Five of these ten people nodded, and those people were probably either the chefs in the hotel or worked in those hotels.

Another short and strong man, who was about forties, spoke, "Boss Liu, everyone is begging for food on the side of this highway. Everyone must abide by the rules on this road. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished." The short and strong man also had a Bashu accent.

Old Liu looked at these people with a cold face, "The rules of this road? What are the rules of this road? Why has no one told me before?"

The first man who spoke said: "The rule on this road is that no one can break the price of food and accommodation. If the price of food and accommodation in a hotel is lower than that of other hotels, that is the rule."

The second short and strong man followed and said: "From the tens of kilometers of roads from Wenquan Town to Dangquka, including your Tianlu Inn, there are a total of six roadside hotels on this road, and your store is also the latest. But whoever opens a hotel on this road knows that if you want the hotel business to improve, it will take at least half a year to maintain it. But what about your hotel? It became popular in just one or two months. If you don't break the rules, how could you raise your business in such a short time?"

When Lao Liu heard this, he was happy and called out to the sky, haha, "Oh, as you come here to question today, it is based on your guesses? You don't know the food price and accommodation price of my inn? Just because my inn's business is good, do you say I broke the rules?"

Lao Liu's eyes swept over the five bosses, and then slapped the table suddenly, "You guys are trying to learn from Qin Hui, and you have made me a false alarm? Who is so bad? Ah? Tell me, who is so bad? Just because my inn business is booming, you just guess that I am so bad, and you came to scold me. Why are your face so big?

Damn Ma Ali is still the richest man in the country, and his business is even more popular. Why don’t you go to Hangzhou to find Ma Ali to take accountability? Tsk tsk, with your courage, you only dare to come to me to give me a face? Lazhen, show our menu to these bosses to see if we have broken the rules!”

The first man took the menu from Gesanglazhen and looked down. The more he looked, the ugly his face became.

After a few quick glances, he handed over the menu to the short and strong man. After the short and strong man looked at it for a few more times, his face became quite ugly.

But none of them noticed that Chu Qian immediately walked out of the back door after seeing her boyfriend turn against her...

When Gesan Lazhen took the menu, the first man looked at the short and strong man, and then looked at the other man in his thirties standing behind them.

The first man looked very bad and said to the man: "Old Yue, you did this inexplicable thing. The price of Mr. Xiao Liu's food is no different from the price of ours. They didn't reduce the price."

The man in his thirties was tall and thin, with a bit like a bamboo pole. The most important thing was that this guy had a pair of eyebrows with his horoscope and his eyes were drooping downwards. He looked like he was not a good person.

The tall and thin man argued: "Boss Wang, Brother Zhou Er, who knows if they will give discounts when the customer checks out? Otherwise, why is their business so popular?" The tall and thin man spoke without a Bashu accent, so he had a Qiangui accent.

"Don't let your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors do it!" Old Liu immediately spitted a fragrant smell, "How dare you spray feces so much? Believe it or not, I slap you and can't take care of yourself?"

The tall and thin man also glared and argued: "Boss Wang, did you see this guy hit me? I was so angry."

"Am I furious?" Old Liu was upset again, "You are so unlucky, so you won't make me angry. But if you slander me like this, I will let you know what it is like to be furious."

The tall and thin man yelled with his neck, "Unless you let us look at the account book, we will not believe your reasons."

"I want to see my account book? Are you from the IRS? Get out of it, get out of it, don't make me unhappy and throw you out. You're so stupid and can't speak too much, bah!"

The bosses who followed him also had a little embarrassed face...
